Mary passed away on November 14, 2015. In January 2016, the State Historical Society Board honored her legacy by naming the historic Clerk of Court’s Office, the “Mary Faith Young Room,” as a gesture of memorial and remembrance to her legacy and tireless efforts to save the courthouse.
The efforts are continuing.

The Stark County Sheriff’s Office says it seized neglected and abused horses and some cattle from the ranch near Gladstone earlier this week. At least 30 of the horses are ready to give birth.
Authorities began an investigation into the case last month. Officials say the animals were to be sold to a feed lot and then sent to slaughter in Canada. However, after negotiations, a judge decided the horses would be turned over to an animal rescue group.
Alison Smith, Founder of Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue in Mandan, says the deal was finalized Tuesday night.
The case remains under investigation. No charges have been filed

The superintendent credits a Department of Public Instruction initiative backed by the state Legislature in 2015. The initiative offered any North Dakota high school senior, including those in non-public schools or home school settings, to take at least one Advanced Placement exam in English, math, science or computer science at no cost.
The AP tests translate to college credit if a student decides to go that route.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A foundation has transferred a nearly $700,000 endowment trust to support maintenance at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Washburn.
The state took over the center’s operations from the financially troubled foundation two years ago.
Former foundation board member and state Parks Director Mark Zimmerman called the announcement of the transfer on Wednesday “disingenuous.” He says much of the $700,000 endowment trust transferred to the state was borrowed from the foundation’s own endowment fund and had to be repaid.
And he says the foundation only was able to repay the money because of a financial gift from a benefactor’s estate.
Foundation president David Borlaug says the foundation did borrow $300,000 from the endowment fund and it was repaid from the benefactor’s gift. But he says nothing was done inappropriately.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
UNDATED (AP) — The American League’s worst team of 2016 has added another game to its division lead by earning its first three-game sweep in Baltimore since 1996.
Kennys (KEHN’-ees) Vargas hit a two-run single while the Minnesota Twins were scoring three times in the first inning of a 4-3 triumph over the Orioles. Eduardo Escobar singled home Vargas later in the first, one inning before Max Kepler’s RBI double put the Twins ahead 4-0.
Winning pitcher Jose Berrios sailed through the first six innings, allowing just two hits before running into trouble in the seventh. Jonathan Schoop hit the Birds’ third solo homer of the day to chase Berrios, who was reached for just four hits while striking out seven over 6 1/3 innings.
The Twins’ sixth win in seven games leaves them atop the AL Central by two games over Cleveland.
The Orioles have dropped four straight at Camden Yards since winning 15 of their first 18 home games.
The Indians lost ground on Minnesota by blowing a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to Cincinnati. Billy Hamilton scored the go-ahead run from first base on Zack Cozart’s two-run single off closer Cody Allen, who had converted his previous 22 save opportunities since last August.
Carlos Santana smacked a two-run homer and an RBI double to account for the Indians’ scoring.

BIG TEN TOURNAMENT-SCHEDULE
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — The Big Ten has changed its baseball tournament schedule because the length of the Purdue-Nebraska game on Wednesday night would have caused the Iowa-Maryland game to start after the event’s predetermined 10 p.m. EDT curfew.
Nebraska beat the Boilermakers 15-9 in a game that lasted 3 hours, 27 minutes.
The revised schedule today: Indiana-Michigan loser’s bracket game, 10 a.m.; Iowa-Maryland first-round game, 1:30 p.m.; Purdue vs. Iowa-Maryland loser, 5 p.m.; Northwestern-Minnesota winner’s bracket game, 8:30 p.m.
The new schedule gives top-seeded Nebraska an unexpected day off. The Cornhuskers will play the Iowa-Maryland winner on Friday at a time to be determined.
VIKINGS-BRIDGEWATER
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater has reached the point in rehabilitation where he’s able to drop back to pass on his surgically repaired left knee.
Just when the 24-year-old quarterback might return to live action with the Minnesota Vikings remains largely unknown.
Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said Wednesday that Bridgewater has not been cleared for full practice. That’s predictable, less than nine months after the dislocation, torn ACL and other damage occurred to his knee during a non-contact drill .
The Vikings raised optimism about Bridgewater’s recovery Tuesday by posting to their website a 38-second, slow-motion video clip of him taking drop-backs and throws in their first organized on-field workout of the offseason. Spielman, however, said there’s still no timetable or guarantee for his return.

MARAWI, Philippines (AP) — A military spokesman says troops are using helicopters to help clear militants from the besieged city of Marawi in the southern Philippines. Lt. Col. Jo-ar Herrera says the helicopters are firing rockets in “a precision attack.” As gunfire crackled in the background, Herrera says authorities believe Isnilon Hapilon, who is on Washington’s list of most-wanted terrorists, is still in the city. The violence erupted Tuesday night when authorities launched an unsuccessful raid to capture Hapilon.
